Morning Star

After a moment of silence, he tilted his head and looked at her softly: "Let's... go to the divine realm."

"?"

She didn't expect him to say this, and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

"But didn't you stop me from going before? Why did you suddenly..."

He clearly refused to agree no matter what I said before. What on earth was he thinking?

He turned his head and lowered his eyes as he spoke with a bitter smile on his face: "I figured out...some things."

Although his cultivation was still there, he was now covered in wounds. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to protect her when she was really in trouble.

What's more, Chenxi's problem has not been resolved yet, and this is by no means an easy task.

What was supposed to come would eventually come. There were some things he couldn't keep secret for long. Perhaps it would be better to let her know the pros and cons. At least he could stay alive to protect her.

He didn't want to argue with her about this anymore.

Chujiu seemed to understand what he heard, and tilted his head but did not ask any further questions.

As his voice fell, the air was no longer oppressive.

The two of them no longer quarreled.

As soon as I felt better, I remembered that I hadn't had lunch yet. But the food was cold, so I had to ask Shi Yuan to bring it down and heat it up.

After dinner, Mo Xinglan asked Chujiu to call Piaomiao and told him that Piaomiao had agreed to go to the Divine Realm.

During this time, Mo Xinglan made another request: "The Divine Realm must not interfere with Jiuer's judgment, nor make decisions for Jiuer."

Piao Miao thought he would make an unreasonable request, but she didn't expect it to be just this one. After a moment's pause, she agreed without thinking.

Finally, the two decided to set off for the divine realm in ten days.

During these ten days, Mo Xinglan had to arrange the affairs of the Demon Realm and prepare for what might happen in the future. On the other hand, he asked Fang Hao to prepare elixirs and herbs, and to refine pills.

Chujiu has not been idle these days. He went to Hualing and told Chu Congnan and Xiao Xiao about his trip to the Divine Realm.

As for returning to Earth, she did not tell Chu Congnan because she had not yet decided how to tell Xiao Xiao. As for Xiao Xiao, she planned to wait until Mo Xinglan recovered from his injury in the Divine Realm before returning to take her back with him.

After hearing this, Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin gave her some more instructions and advice.

After returning to the Demon Realm, she began to pack her things again.

On the day they left for the God's Realm, not many people came to see them off. Because not many people knew they were going to the God's Realm, there was no big fanfare.

The method of opening the passage to the God's Realm and the passage to the Demon's Realm are somewhat similar.

The only difference is that to reach the God's Realm, one does not have to go to a designated area to open the passage like one does to the Demon's Realm.

To open the passage to the divine realm, one only needs to have enough spiritual power, the ability to perform the secret technique, and the permission of the God Emperor to succeed. The location is not a high requirement.

Piaomiao raised his hands and quickly flipped a few spell seals, while silently chanting a spell in his heart. The surrounding spiritual energy quickly gathered and gradually formed a huge door.

There were faint patterns carved on the silver-white door. When the shape of the door was fully formed, the door slowly opened.

Piaomiao took the lead and walked in. Chujiu and Mo Xinglan looked at each other, turned around and said goodbye to the people behind them, then followed in.

Among them were Chu Wenxuan, Xiao Xiao, Fang Hao, Chi Feng, Hua Hua, and Wu Li.

After Chujiu and Mo Xinglan walked in, the two doors slowly closed, and finally the entire door disappeared from everyone's sight.

No one came to their senses until Ju Men disappeared.

That was the legendary God's Domain. They actually saw the gate to the God's Domain, which was enough for them to brag about for a year.

Of course, this does not include Fang Hao and Wu Li. After all, gods and demons are more or less in opposition.

Fang Hao even felt disdainful in his heart.

Tsk, it’s just a teleportation gate to the God’s Realm, it’s not as good-looking as the teleportation gate to our Demon’s Realm.

There was silence for a long time, until Chu Wenxuan broke the silence with a light cough.

After that, everyone started talking among themselves.

Although Chu Wenxuan doesn't talk much normally, he would occasionally say a few words.

Xiao Xiao, who usually talks a lot, remained silent. He followed Chu Wenxuan with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Chu Wenxuan noticed it early in the morning, but he didn't ask until he was alone and looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong? Have you been unhappy these past few days?"

She was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and opened her mouth, and finally shook her head: "Nothing."

It’s not the right time yet, let’s wait a little longer.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Wenxuan lowered his eyelashes and stopped asking. He reached out and held her hand in his palm, pulling her forward.

……

As he stepped through the gate of the divine realm, a cool breeze blew in his face, accompanied by a strong aura and an equally strong aura that was similar to the aura but not similar to it, entwining his body.

Looking around, the mountains are looming in the mist, and you can vaguely see the buildings on the mountainside.

Floating in the air above the clouds are mountains that look as if they were cut flat by a knife. At first glance, it looks like various palaces and buildings are built on them.

The Divine Realm is worthy of its name, with a fairy-like aura everywhere.

Chujiu was still admiring the surroundings when a middle-aged man with white hair appeared in front of him.

This man not only has white hair, but also white eyebrows. Judging from his appearance, he is only in his 40s or 50s, but with his temperament, it feels like he is not just that age. It's as if he has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Based on the novels I've read before, I can guess everything about this kind of person. It must be another old monster.

He was dressed in a white robe with silver edges, looking like an immortal, like one of those powerful people. He looked unfathomable.

Seeing this person in front of her reminded her of Venerable Qu Ling. Venerable Qu Ling was also dressed in white, but he didn't give her the feeling of being as virtuous and ancient as the person in front of her.

Chujiu was still wondering who the man in front of him was, when Piaomiao came up to the man and introduced him to Chujiu and Mo Xinglan: "This is the ruler of the God Realm, the God Emperor. He will be responsible for what happens next. You can go to him if you have any questions."

After listening to Piao Miao's brief introduction, Chu Jiu's eyes widened. He looked at the man in front of him who was called the God Emperor, and then at Piao Miao.

I didn’t expect the God Emperor to come in person.

Or is it that the Emperor of the Divine Realm has no prestige? Or is it that... he has nothing to do?

Compared to Jiu's initial shock, Mo Xinglan was very calm. He had no expression on his face since he stepped into the gate of the divine realm.

At this time, Piao Miao looked at the God Emperor. He was not respectful as Chu Jiu had expected. Instead, he treated him like a person of the same level and spoke again: "The person has been brought here. It is inconvenient for me to participate in the rest."

Then he turned to Chujiu and said, "We will meet again."

This time her voice sounded a little disembodied, not as clear as before.

After saying this, her figure began to dissipate, as if it had disappeared into the ethereal air.

Chujiu blinked twice and his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in front of him who was called the God Emperor.

For a moment, none of the three spoke and the atmosphere became awkward.

"cough."

The God Emperor covered his lips and coughed to break the awkwardness: "I already know about your affairs, and it was me who asked Piao Miao to bring you here. You don't mind if I didn't come to pick you up in person?"

"Uh, haha, I don't mind." Chujiu looked at Mo Xinglan, who had an expressionless face beside him, and gave a dry laugh to the God Emperor.

The God Emperor looked at her with a gentle smile, then looked at Mo Xinglan who had been silent the whole time and said with a smile: "Then let's talk while we walk?"

Chujiu nodded and supported Mo Xinglan as they walked. Walking side by side with them was the God Emperor.

On the way, Chujiu suddenly had an idea and asked about Piaomiao.

The God Emperor explained patiently.

It turns out that Piaomiao is not her real name, her real name is Feiyin.

Feiyin was once the strongest female warrior in the God Realm. Thousands of years ago, Feiyin died for some reason. Now Piaomiao is just a remnant of her soul, and has forgotten everything in the past. In addition, she is just a remnant of her soul, always erratic, and after a long time, she was called Piaomiao.

I heard that Piaomiao was the chief general under the God of War Feiyin, Zhuwu, who had collected a trace of Feiyin's remaining soul with great difficulty using a divine weapon and the right time when Feiyin died.

General Zhuwu also lost most of his cultivation because of this, and is unable to recover until now.

"Hey, that's not right." Chujiu was very confused after hearing this. "Piaomiao told me before that if a soul leaves the body for a long time, it will be scattered, especially a residual soul. Why can she still exist for so long?"

The God Emperor smiled and said, "Back then, General Zhuwu used a special divine tool to raise Piaomiao for a long time. During that time, Piaomiao gained self-awareness and practiced the art of soul refining."

Chujiu: "Soul cultivation? Souls can also be cultivated? Is that the same as those ghost cultivators in the underworld?"

"No." She suddenly thought of something and refuted her own words, "Ghost cultivators' cultivation will be suppressed in the sunlight, but I don't think Piao Miao has this problem. Instead, his body is glowing."

Although she had never seen a real ghost cultivator, she still knew some common knowledge about the whereabouts of ghost cultivators and the creatures from the mysterious world after their death.

The souls of most creatures in the Xuan Realm will enter the Underworld after death and reincarnate in the Underworld. During this period, some souls do not want to reincarnate, and if their souls are in good condition, they can stay in the Underworld and practice in the soul state.

Under normal circumstances, they can only stay in the underworld. During the day, especially in the sun, their cultivation will be suppressed, their movements will become slow, and over time, their cultivation will regress. However, the underworld is dark all day long, without sunlight, and not even cloudy, which is more suitable for their survival and cultivation.

After listening to her mumbling, the God Emperor explained with a smile: "Piao Miao is indeed different from ghost cultivators."

"Piao Miao can practice because she is now considered a spirit."

"Piao Miao is a spirit?!" Chu Jiu was shocked, "It can be operated like this! What kind of spiritual weapon or spirit of a divine weapon?"

The God Emperor did not rush to answer this time. Instead, Mo Xinglan, who had been silent the whole time, guessed, "It should be the artifact, the Butterfly God Robe."

"Butterfly God Clothes? Is it clothes? What's its use?" Chujiu asked.

Mo Xinglan: "The Butterfly God Robe can protect the soul. I heard that even a soul can wear the Butterfly God Robe. The spirit of the Butterfly God Robe does not need to recognize its master to move freely, because the spirit itself is the beneficiary of the Butterfly God Robe."

The God Emperor was not surprised that Mo Xinglan could guess it, and smiled: "It is the Butterfly God Cloth."

"Butterfly God Robe... protects the soul..." Chujiu murmured.

Suddenly she remembered that she and Mo Xinglan were trapped in the ancient killing array last year, and she held Mo Xinglan's hand tightly: "So the Butterfly God Robe is on Piao Miao. If we had the Butterfly God Robe at that time, would Xingxing not have been seriously injured by the killing array?"

Since the killing array was specifically designed to deal with Xingxing's soul, then if Piaomiao had been willing to take action at that time, would Xingxing not have...

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl beside him with a gloomy face, thinking about this and that, and sighed helplessly. He rubbed her head with his other hand and said softly: "The Butterfly God Robe can indeed protect my soul from damage, but Piao Miao is just a remnant soul. If she uses the Butterfly God Robe to protect me, she might be severely injured by the killing array, or even her soul will be scattered."

In fact, he had another guess.

It's not that he is petty, but he has to have doubts after so many things related to Piaomiao.

That is, all of this was within Piaomiao's expectations, or rather, Piaomiao was planning all of this through Chenxi.

Before, Piao Miao had been in Jiu'er's sea of ​​consciousness, so it's not a big deal that Jiu'er didn't notice her existence. But at that time, Piao Miao was also trapped in the killing array, so how did she manage to take out the spirit pearl of Lord Cang Hao in such a short time?

Moreover, the spirit pearl is as important in the divine realm as the magic pearl is in the demon realm. Even if Piao Miao has a special identity, he can't just take it if he wants.

It was obvious that Piao Miao and the God Emperor had already discussed and prepared this. The Spirit Pearl had always been with Piao Miao, probably waiting to be given to him when his soul was broken.

He was almost dead at that time, and the spirit pearl and the magic pearl could only prolong his life a little bit. The injuries on his body and soul could not be healed.

And there is a holy spring in the divine realm, which has excellent healing effects on the body and soul, which is exactly what he needs.

As for why Piao Miao and the God Emperor didn't bring him to the Divine Realm for treatment from the beginning, I'm afraid...

He didn't think about it any further, but lowered his eyes to look at Chujiu who looked a little lost.

That was why he was unwilling to come to the Divine Realm with her to heal his injuries before.

This idiot was being tricked but he was still helping others count money.

But what can he do?

Could he blame the God Emperor and Piao Miao?

Of course it's impossible.

It wasn't the Divine Realm that wanted to harm him, it wasn't the Divine Realm that set up the killing array, and it wasn't the Divine Realm that hurt him. Piao Miao and the Divine Emperor just played along, tying him and Jiu Er to the Divine Realm.

On the other hand, it was Piao Miao and the God Emperor who brought him the spirit pearl and saved his life, and now they let him come to the God's Realm to heal his injuries.

But being plotted against was still being plotted against, so he was really upset. However, he could only hold it in.

At this time Chujiu put away her depressed mood, thought of what the God Emperor had said before, and asked: "By the way, you said before that Piao Miao practiced that soul refining technique? After practicing that soul refining technique, can the soul be gradually restored?" She thought that Mo Xinglan's soul was seriously injured.

Mo Xinglan's brows softened when he heard this.

She always thinks of him.

The God Emperor could probably guess what Chujiu meant.

He shook his head: "Soul Refining Technique only makes the soul stronger and less likely to dissipate. It can fight even without a physical body, but it cannot reunite the part of the soul that has already dissipated."

Seeing Chujiu's dejected look after hearing this, he said, "The best way to repair a broken soul is to use spiritual medicine that can heal the soul. However, the stronger the soul, the higher the level of spiritual medicine required after it is injured, and the greater the quantity."

Chujiu now understood that this was just like the higher the level of cultivation, the higher the level of elixir required.
